Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Luxfer Holdings PLC and all wholly-owned, majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries on the same basis as our annual audited financial statements. We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Our quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended* December 31, 2025*. As used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Luxfer" and "the Company" mean Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
During thesecond quarter of2026, the Company determined that Superformno longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Accordingly, Superform’s results of operations have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented. Prior-period amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows and related disclosures have been restated to conform to the current-period presentation. This reclassification hadno impact on previously reported net income or total cash flows. The classification of Superform’s assets and liabilities as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of* December 31, 2025hasnot* been revised, as the held-for-sale criteria were met as of that date. See Note11 Discontinued operations for further information.
The prior-year comparative results also include the results of the Graphic Arts business, which was sold on* July 2, 2025.As the disposal didnot* qualify for presentation as discontinued operations, the historical results of Graphic Arts remain within continuing operations. Accordingly, there areno corresponding Graphic Arts operating results included in the current-year periods.
In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are only of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to Form10-Q in Article10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences* may*be material to our financial statements.
Our fiscal year ends on* December 31.We report our interim quarterly periods on a13*-week quarter basis, ending on a Sunday. The Second Quarter2026, ended on* June 28, 2026*, and the Second Quarter2025, ended on* June 29, 2025*.
Accounting standards issued butnot yet effective
In* November 2024,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220*-40), which requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expenses. ASU2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2026,and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.The Company is currently evaluating its impact and will adopt this guidance in accordance with the required effective date, beginning with its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2027.*
The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards and doesnot expect any other standards that have been issued but arenot yet effective to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding, net of treasury shares and shares held in ESOP. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and the dilutive ordinary shares equivalents.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:
| Second Quarter | Year-to-date | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In millions except share and per-share data | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| Basic earnings: | | | | |

4. Restructuring
The $1.6 million and $3.8 million of restructuring charges recognized in thesecond quarter andfirst six months of2026, respectively, relate to the continued execution of previously announced restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and enhancing operational alignment, including the centralization of our North American gas cylinders and magnesium powders operations.
These charges comprised $1.4 million and $3.6 million in thesecond quarter andfirst six months of2026, respectively, within the Gas Cylinders segment and $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, within the Elektron segment. The Superform segment also recognized $0.1 million of restructuring costs in thesecond quarter of2026.
The charges within the Gas Cylinders segment primarily related to follow-on costs associated with the cessation of manufacturing at our Pomona, California facility in* December 2025,*including equipment relocation, site reorganization, employee stay incentives and site remediation activities. The charges within the Elektron segment primarily related to shutdown costs associated with the ongoing centralization of our magnesium powders operations.
The $2.0 million and $1.8 million of restructuring charges recognized in thesecond quarter andfirst six months of2025, respectively, predominantly related to initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and generating savings through enhanced operational alignment, particularly through the reduction of our North American Gas Cylinders footprint. As part of these initiatives, we recognized accelerated depreciation charges of $1.7 million related to property, plant and equipment in thesecond quarter andfirst six months of2025, in accordance with ASC360. These charges resulted from the strategic decision to relocate certain operations, which shortened the expected useful lives of the affected assets.
Restructuring-related costs by reportable segment were as follows:
| Second Quarter | Year-to-date | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In millions | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| Severance and other costs | | | | |
| Gas Cylinders | $1.3 | $0.3 | $3.5 | $0.4 |
| Elektron | 0.1 | — | 0.2 | — |
| Superform | 0.1 | — | — | (0.3) |

5. Defined benefit pension credit
On* January 8, 2026,the Trustee of the Luxfer Group Pension Plan (“LGPP”) entered into a full buy-in contract with a U.K. insurer, Aviva. The buy-in is designed to substantially match the Plan’s benefit obligations with corresponding cash flow payments from the insurer, with effect from March 2026*payroll, in exchange for an agreed premium.
The buy-in doesnot constitute a settlement event underASC715,* Compensation—Retirement Benefits* and therefore doesnot require remeasurement of the Plan’s funded status for the Quarter ended* March 29, 2026.Accordingly, the net defined benefit asset recognized at June 28, 2026remains consistent with the year-end measurement as of December 31, 2025.*
The defined benefit pension charge was $0.1 million in thesecond quarter of2026, compared to a $0.6 million credit in thesecond quarter of2025. For thefirst six months of2026, the defined benefit pension charge was $0.1 million, compared to a $1.2 million credit in thefirst six months of2025. The year-over-year movements primarily reflect lower expected returns on plan assets compared to the prior year periods. In addition, on* January 8, 2026,the Trustee of the Luxfer Group Pension Plan entered into a full buy-in contract with an insurer, which is designed to substantially match the Plan’s future benefit obligations with corresponding insurance cash flows. While the buy-in doesnot* constitute a settlement event under ASC715 and therefore didnot result in a remeasurement of the Plan’s funded status, it has the effect of reducing future variability in pension income. Costs of $0.2 million and $0.3 million were incurred in connection with the buy-in during thesecond quarter andfirst six months of2026, respectively, which offset the underlying pension credit.
6. Other costs
In thesecond quarter andfirst six months of2026, other costs of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, comprised primarily legal and due diligence fees, together with financial advisory and other professional fees, incurred in connection with the Company’s strategic review and related transaction process. On* July 26, 2026,the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of the Company, as described in Note16,* “Subsequent Events.”
7. Income Taxes
We manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and therefore have our tax residency in the U.K. The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for the U.K. and international income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.K. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.
The effective income tax rate for thefirst six months ended* June 28, 2026*, was 29.4%, compared to 34.1% for thefirst six months ended* June 29, 2025*.
In2026 the rate was impacted by non-deductible expenses. Cash income taxes paid, net of refunds, are disclosed within supplementary cash flow information in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The weighted-average interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 5.50% for thefirst six months of2026 and 6.40% for the full-year2025.
Loan notes and Private Shelf Facility
The $25.0 million Loan Notes and the Private Shelf Facility are governed by the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement. This agreement requires us to maintain compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with the applicable covenants at all quarterly measurement dates from* September 30, 2014through June 28, 2026*.
The $25.0 million Loan Notes matured on* June 29, 2026*and were repaid using drawings under the Company’s separate Revolving Credit Facility. The Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a separate Multicurrency Revolving Facility Agreement. In* July 2025,the Company refinanced the Revolving Credit Facility, maintaining committed capacity of $125.0 million and an additional $25.0 million of uncommitted capacity under an accordion feature, and extending its maturity from October 2026to July 2030.*
During thefirst six months of2026, we drew down net $44.5 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and the balance outstanding at* June 28, 2026*, was $59.2 million, and at* December 31, 2025*, was $15.3 million, with $65.8 million undrawn at* June 28, 2026* and $109.7 million undrawn at* December 31, 2025*.
Bank Overdraft
The Company has access to a bank overdraft which is an uncommitted facility withno expiration date, this is reviewed annually and can be cancelled by either the bank or the Company on demand.

11. Discontinued Operations
Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business, which historically operated from sites in the U.S. and the U.K., was previously included in the Gas Cylinders segment. As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, the results of the Superform business were then presented as discontinued operations.
During thesecond quarter of2026, following a period of active marketing in which the Company didnot identify a suitable buyer, the Company ceased actively marketing the Superform U.S. business for sale. Improved performance, supported by stronger conditions in the aerospace market, was also considered in reaching this decision. As a result, the Superform U.S. businessno longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale or discontinued operations. Accordingly, Superform’s results have been reclassified to continuing operations for all periods presented, and Superform is presented as a separate reportable segment.
At* December 31, 2025,the Superform U.S. business met the criteria for classification as held for sale and its assets and liabilities were presented within Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at December 31, 2025*were as follows:
| Held-for-sale assets | December 31, |
|---|---|
| In millions | 2025 |
| Inventory | $2.9 |
| Prepayments and accrued income | 0.5 |
| Accounts and other receivables | 2.1 |
| Current assets | $5.5 |
| | |
| Total assets | $5.5 |
| | |
| Accounts payable | $1.1 |
| Accrued liabilities | 0.4 |
| Other current liabilities | 1.3 |
| Current liabilities | $2.8 |
| | |
| Total liabilities | $2.8 |
In thesecond quarter of2025 the Company recognized a $2.8 million loss on held-for-sale asset group relating to Superform assets. The loss reflects an adjustment to the carrying amount to its estimated fair value less costs to sell, in accordance with ASC360, due to revised expectations regarding the sale.
The fair value measurement was determined using a nonrecurring fair value approach under ASC820. Because the asset group isnot traded in an active market, the Company applied a market approach, estimating fair value based on recent transactions involving comparable businesses of a similar size and industry profile. This fair value measurement is classified as Level3 within the fair value hierarchy.

12. Share Plans
Total share-based compensation expense in the Second quarter andfirst six months of2026 and2025 was as follows:
| Second Quarter | Year-to-date | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In millions | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| Total share-based compensation charges | $1.1 | $0.9 | $2.1 | $1.8 |
In* March 2026,we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Long Term Umbrella Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was approximately 135,000 and the weighted average fair value of options granted in2026* was estimated to be $11.80 per share.
In* June 2026,*we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Non-Executive Directors' Equity Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was approximately 45,000 and the weighted average fair value of options granted was estimated to be $17.85 per share.
The following table illustrates the assumptions used in deriving the fair value of share options granted during2026 and the year-ended* December 31, 2025*:
| 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Dividend yield (%) | 4.40 - 5.52 | 4.40 - 5.52 |
| Expected volatility range (%) | 38.31 - 41.86 | 38.31 - 41.86 |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | 4.03 - 4.11 | 4.03 - 4.11 |
| Expected life of share options range (years) | 1.00 - 3.00 | 1.00 - 4.00 |
| Forfeiture rate (%) | 5.00 | 5.00 |
| Weighted average exercise price ($) | $0.75 | $0.75 |
| Model used | Black-Scholes & Monte-Carlo | Black-Scholes & Monte-Carlo |
The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectations, and isnot necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that* mayoccur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may**not* necessarily be the actual outcome.

14. Segmental Information
Weclassify our operations into business segments based primarily on shared economic characteristics, including the nature of the products and services; the production processes; the type or class of customer; the methods used to distribute products or provide services; and the nature of the regulatory environment.
For the Second Quarter ended* June 28, 2026,*the Company operated four business units, which comprise three reportable segments within continuing operations: Gas Cylinders, Elektron and Superform. Luxfer Gas Cylinders forms the Gas Cylinders segment, Luxfer MEL Technologies and Luxfer Magtech aggregate into the Elektron segment, and Superform forms the Superform segment.
Prior to its disposal on* July 2, 2025,the Luxfer Graphic Arts business was reported as a separate business unit and reportable segment following its disaggregation from the Elektron segment as of December 31, 2023.*As a result, Graphic Arts is included within the prior year comparative information.
During the Second Quarter of2026, the Company ceased actively marketing the Superform business for sale and determined that the businessno longer met the criteria for classification as held-for-sale. As the Company isno longer pursuing the disposal of Superform, the business isno longer presented as a discontinued operation and has been reclassified into continuing operations as a separate reportable segment. Prior period comparative information has been restated to reflect this presentation.
A summary of the operations of the Company’s reportable segments within continuing operations is provided below.

Management monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker "CODM", the CEO, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, using net sales and adjusted EBITA, which is defined as the Company's measure of segment profit or loss, and is based on income before tax from continuing operations, adjusted for share-based compensation charges; restructuring charges; impairment charges; disposal costs; gain on disposal of assets held for sale/property, plant and equipment; defined benefit credit/charge, interest expense, net and amortization.
Unallocated assets and liabilities include those which are held on behalf of the Company and cannot be allocated to a segment, such as taxation, investments, cash, retirement benefits obligations, bank and other loans and holding company assets and liabilities.

Contingencies
In* December 2023,it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case are covered by insurance. The Company recognized $7.7 million in thetwelve* months of2024, in relation to recovery of these costs previously incurred by the Company. $5.8 million cash was received in2024 with a further $1.9 million received in2025.
In* April 2025,the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a Preliminary Evaluation to investigate allegations of compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel leaks in certain CNG fuel systems, equipped with certain Luxfer Type4* CNG fuel containers. Luxfer is fully co-operating with this Preliminary Evaluation, which has a range of potential outcomes, and at this stage Luxfer isnot able to estimate the potential financial impact. Luxfer doesnot believe that this alleged issue poses an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.
In* July 2025,in accordance with the Luxfer Graphic Arts sale agreement, the Company has fully indemnified the purchaser for certain identified environmental matters relating to the Madison Illinois site, which we estimate will cost approximately $1.0 million to close out. A provision for these obligations has been recognized and is included within other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, we have provided indemnification for any unidentified environmental matters that mayhave occurred between2003* (the year of the original acquisition by Luxfer) and* July 2025,capped at $10.0 million and / or5* years.
Also, in2025, the Company recognized a provision of $3.1 million in relation to dilapidation obligations associated with the former Superform U.K. site sold in2021, for which the Group remains a guarantor under the relevant lease arrangements following disposal of the business. The obligation reflects management’s best estimate of the costs required to settle the remaining property reinstatement and exit obligations.

The Company is also required to pay the Company Termination Payment if Buyer terminates the Transaction Agreement due to the failure of the closing date to occur by the End Date and at such time Buyer could have terminated pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii). The Company is also required to pay the Company Termination Payment if (a)(I) the Company or Buyer terminates the Transaction Agreement due to (x) the failure of the closing to occur by the End Date or (y) the failure to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval following the completion of the Scheme Meeting and the Company GM, or (II) Buyer terminates the Transaction Agreement if the Company breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the conditions to the closing of the Transaction tonot be satisfied and fails to cure such breach, (b) following the execution of the Transaction Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal is made directly to the Company’s shareholders or is otherwise publicly disclosed and, in each case of clause (a)(I)(y) or clause (a)(II),not withdrawn withinfive (5) Business Days prior to any other termination, and (c) withintwelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement in respect of such Acquisition Proposal (whether ornot such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated), or an Acquisition Proposal is consummated.

The obligations of the equity investor to provide equity financing under the equity commitment letter are subject to customary conditions and the obligations of the lenders to provide debt financing under the debt commitment letter are subject to customary conditions. The consummation of the Transaction isnot subject to any financing condition.
The equity investor has also provided a guarantee in favor of the Company, to guarantee, subject to certain limitations set forth therein (including the satisfaction or waiver of certain of the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement), the payment by Buyer of the Buyer Termination Payment and certain indemnity and reimbursement obligations of Buyer to the extent payable by Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement.
